Random facts about my Welcome Home OC sisters Lily and Suzie:

-Lily-

-Her design was inspired by a family member’s child (and for privacy reasons that is all I am revealing).

-Hilariously, both her name and her sister’s name refer to the flower ‘Lily’ and their parents were NOT aware of this fact until it was too late. (Not even I was until awhile ago).

-She is about five or six.

-Her favorite colors are pink and blue.

-Her favorite activity is drawing.

-Her best friend is Nate, who is the nephew of Suzie’s friend.

-Is absolutely that only kid in class that has watched Rankin and Bass stop motion and Jim Henson’s Muppets, and not just current animated stuff.

-Is sort of a miracle child because her parents didn’t have children for years between the two sisters. She was born when Suzie was in high school.

-Wally’s nickname for her–‘little miracle’ is because of the circumstances of her birth but mostly because she was the very first viewer he could ACTUALLY see.

-Wally is her favorite WH character. Barnaby or Julie would be a close second.

-If Lily was on the set of Welcome Home during its heyday (supposing that it WAS real of course) she’d either be a lucky audience member or guest child who gets to interact with the characters.

-If she was a puppet, she'd be a very light shade of orange with a bubblegum pink nose.

-Her use of Suzie’s laptop is only limited to how to play episodes of WH. Since she’s still learning to read, she can’t do much else with it.

-Speaking of, she is one of those kids who WASN’T given CGI junk to be distracted with as a toddler. Suzie prevented that from happening.

-Suzie gave her access to the Welcome Home show episodes and helped her get to the website that has them.

-For some reason, Lily was able to be seen by Wally. Had she not responded or called out to him, he would have acted more like how he normally acts in canon towards the sisters.

-She serves as a reminder as to what Welcome Home was intended for to Wally and the others–a show meant for children.

-As seen in a previous drawing, she has been able to sneak Wally in his canonical-sized puppet form to the real world. She has also taken him to school but quickly stopped after he bit someone who tried to take him away from her.

-The only place in the world of Welcome Home that she hasn’t yet visited is Home itself. There’s a reason for that.

-Suzie-

-‘Suzie’ is actually short for her full name ‘Suzannah.’

-Suzie is about twenty/twenty-one.

-Attends a community college where she takes art classes

-Is trying to get a degree that can allow her to work in graphic design or illustrations

-Her dream job would be to either be an illustrator or set designer

-Is part of the campus’ LGBTQ plus club

-Identifies as bisexual and may have dated a girl for a few months during her first year of college.

-If I had a voice for her, it’d possibly be similar to Barrett Wilbert Weed (best known as Vernoica’s actor from the Heathers musical)

-Favorite colors are orange and blue.

–One of her favorite films is Labyrinth. The slight irony of that is not lost on her.

-As revealed in a previous ask, Suzie’s scar was due to a large bird attacking her on accident as a child. She is terrified of large birds because of this, and thus is terrified of Poppy.

-Found the Welcome Home website with episodes (which of course is not canon).

-Like her sister, Suzie favors Wally. Her second favorite character would be Frank or Sally.

-If Suzie was on the set of Welcome Home during its heyday (supposing that it WAS real of course) and worked there, she would be either a set designer or would do art for promotional material. She’s not a good enough character actor to actually voice one of the puppets.

If Suzie was a puppet, she would be a very light shade of orange with a dark pink nose. She would also keep her scar.

-Suzie does find Wally ‘somewhat cute’ but wouldn’t act on anything given that it's genuinely hard to tell what his preferences are. (This is partly because I don’t think it’s entirely confirmed if Wally has any preferences or is asexual just yet as of writing this.)

-Fulfilled the ‘let Wally see by drawing his eyes’ by doodling him.

-It wasn’t shown yet, but she found out that Welcome Home wasn’t exactly a real show after she did a bit more research on it and found little to nothing about it.

-Doesn’t find Wally’s infamous wide-eyed-fourth wall breaking stare creepy. She’s more annoyed by it.

-Wally’s nickname for her would be ‘pretty angel.’ Whether it is a friendly nickname or something ‘a bit more’ hasn’t been decided yet.

-I think that–in addition to her being a good sister and a fellow artist–the fact that she’s assertive and not willing to put up with any B.S. after find out the truth is what makes her interesting to Wally. (Though the fact that he was slightly tricking her up until she found out didn’t help win her over).

-In this AU, Wally is probably about 5 foot 5/6 (not counting his pompadour), so if he was the ‘canonical human size’ then he’d be an inch or two shorter than Suzie.

-Had she did any responses to Wally during an episode and he spoke to her before Lily, it’s likely things would not have gone down well.

-Had she been exposed to OUR version of the Welcome Home website, it’s doubtful she would have let her sister near it.

-While it was a creepy coincidence since I came up with it BEFORE the July 2023 update, the blue flower in her hair for her WH world attire doubles as an important easter egg. Can you guess what it is?

-Like her sister, while she has been able to visit the world of Welcome Home (and stayed far from Poppy’s home for reasons stated already) she has yet to visit Home itself. There is a reason for that.

All 31 masked Patriot Front members who were arrested inside a truck near an Idaho city’s Pride in the Park event have been identified by police.

The Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office released the names and pictures of the suspects on Sunday, one day after the group’s U-haul had been intercepted by authorities at a traffic stop. The police, according to the Spokesman, had been tipped off about the group after a concerned citizen had reportedly called in about what they described as a “small army”.

Inside, officers had found the dozens of men dressed in matching outfits of khakis, blue shirts, beige hats and white cloths covering their faces and equipped with shields, shin guards, riot gear and a smoke grenade.

The sheriff’s office confirmed that among the 31 men arrested was on Sunday was the founder of extremist hate group, Thomas R Rousseau. The Idaho-Statesman had reported earlier over the weekend that group’s founder was among the white nationalists who police in Coeur d’Alene found packed into the back of a U-Haul truck.

“They came to riot downtown,” the city’s police chief Lee White told a press conference on Saturday, adding that they came with documents “similar to an operations plan that a police or military group would put together for an event”.

The group’s members were charged with conspiracy to riot, a misdemeanor charge, and police said they had an “operations plan” with them.

The Anti-Defamation League describes the Patriot Front as a white nationalist group that specialises in vandalism, racist propaganda and “flash demonstrations” meant to intimidate marginalised communities.

The group’s founder, who is now in his early 20s, has been active in white supremacist ideology since he was a teenager, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. Before creating the Patriot Front, he was a member of Vanguard America, another American white supremacist organisation that is also a member of the Nationalist Front.

In 2017, the same year he created the extremist group, he attended the Unite the Right march in Charlottesburg, Virginia, which saw violent clashes between far right groups and opposing protesters which resulted in the murder of Heather Heyer.

Mr Rousseau hails from Dallas, Texas originally, and the other men arrested over suspicions of inciting a riot had reportedly also travelled from across the country. All 31 were dressed in similar clothing, which was emblazoned with Patriot Front logos on their shirts and hats, police said.

Those arrested came from Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Colorado, South Dakota, Illinois, Wyoming, Virginia and other states as well, police said.

The names of the men arrested on Sunday are as follows:

Jared Boyce

Nathan Brenner

Colton Brown

Josiah Buster

Mishael Buster

Devin Center

Dylan Corio

Winston Durham

Garret Garland

Branden Haney

Richard Jessop

James Johnson

Kieran Morris

Lawrence Norman

Justin Oleary

Cameron Pruitt

Forrest Rankin

Thomas Rousseau

Conor Ryan

Spencer Simpson

Alexander Sisenstein

Derek Smith

Dakota Tabler

Steven Tucker

Wesley Van Horn

Mitchell Wagner

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

March 16, 2023

Heather Cox Richardson

Yesterday, Tamar Hallerman and Bill Rankin of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that the special grand jury in Fulton County, Georgia, investigating the attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election in that state, heard yet another recording of former president Trump pushing a key lawmaker—in this case, Georgia House speaker David Ralston—to convene a special session of the legislature to overturn Biden’s victory.

One juror recalled that Ralston “basically cut the president off. He said, ‘I will do everything in my power that I think is appropriate.’ … He just basically took the wind out of the sails.” Ralston, who died last November, did not call a special session.

This is the third such recorded call. One was with Georgia secretary of state Brad Raffensperger, and another was with the lead investigator in Raffensperger’s office. Ralston had reported the call, but it was not public knowledge that there was a recording of it.

Hallerman and Rankin interviewed five members of the grand jury, which met for 8 months and heard testimony from 75 witnesses. The jurors praised the elections system, and one said, “I tell my wife if every person in America knew every single word of information we knew, this country would not be divided as it is right now.” Another said: “A lot’s gonna come out sooner or later…. And it’s gonna be massive. It’s gonna be massive.”

The special grand jury recommended Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis indict people involved in the attempt to overturn the election. The cases are now in her hands.

Yesterday, prosecutors in New York met with Stormy Daniels, the adult film actress whom Trump allegedly paid $130,000 to keep their sexual liaison quiet. Also yesterday, Trump fixer Michael Cohen testified before a grand jury about the hush-money payment. Cohen’s testimony suggests that Manhattan district attorney Alvin L. Bragg is considering an indictment on a felony charge for misrepresenting the nature of that payment.

Trump has a new lawyer in that case, Joe Tacopina, who has been making the rounds on television shows to insist that Trump isn’t guilty. Tacopina’s job isn’t easy, and he is not necessarily helping, telling MSNBC’s Ari Melber that Trump didn’t actually lie about the hush payment when he lied about it because he was not under oath and he didn’t want to violate a confidentiality agreement.

Also in New York, Trump has asked a judge to delay the $250 million civil case against him, his three oldest children, and the Trump Organization, for manipulating asset valuations to get bank loans and avoid taxes. New York attorney general Letitia James, who brought the suit, said the defendants had had plenty of time to prepare and that Trump is trying to move the case into the election season, at which point he will insist it must be delayed again.

Katelyn Polantz, Paula Reid, Kristen Holmes, and Casey Gannon of CNN reported today that the federal grand jury investigating Trump’s handling of classified documents has interviewed dozens of Mar-a-Lago staff, from servers to attorneys. Special Counsel Jack Smith continues to try to get Trump lawyer Evan Corcoran to testify after prosecutors learned that on June 24, 2022, Trump and Corcoran spoke on the phone as Trump had been ordered to produce the missing documents and the surveillance tapes of the area.

Prosecutors want Corcoran to have to testify despite the attorney-client privilege he claims, using the “crime-fraud exception,” which means that discussions that aided a crime cannot be kept secret.

In the face of this mounting legal pressure, Trump took to video to demand: “The State Department, the defense bureaucracy, the intelligence services, and all of the rest need to be completely overhauled and reconstituted to fire the deep staters.” Then, he said, his people need to finish the process he began of “fundamentally revaluating [sic] NATO’s purpose and NATO’s mission.” “[T]he greatest threat to Western civilization today is not Russia,” he said, but “some of the horrible USA-hating people that represent us.”

This speech was not simply a defense of Russia and its unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. In his attempt to undermine the legal cases against him, Trump has endorsed the “post-liberal order” whose adherents reject the American institutions that defend democracy. In their formulation, American institutions they do not control—“the State Department, the defense bureaucracy, the intelligence services, and all of the rest,” for example—are corrupt because they defend the ideas of equality before the law, a free press, religious freedom, and so on. They must be torn down and taken over by true believers who will use the state to enforce their “Christian nationalism.”

In that formulation, the FBI and the Department of Justice are persecuting good Americans who were trying to protect the country on January 6, 2021. And yesterday, Zoe Tillman of Bloomberg reported that Matthew Graves, the U.S. attorney in Washington, D.C., sent a letter on October 28 last year to Chief Judge Beryl Howell warning that as many as 1,200 more people could still face charges in connection with the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Today, the House Republicans announced an investigation, run by Representative Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), into the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol. The January 6th committee asked Loudermilk to talk to it voluntarily to explain why he gave a tour of the Capitol complex on January 5, 2021, a time when the coronavirus had ended public tours. One of the people on that tour showed up on a video the next day threatening lawmakers.

Loudermilk told Scott MacFarlane and Rebecca Kaplan of CBS News that Americans have “very little confidence” in the report of the January 6th committee, “[a]nd there’s good reason. I mean, you even consider what they did to me, the false allegations that they made against me regarding the constituents that I had in my office in the office buildings—accusing me of giving reconnaissance tours.”

Loudermilk, who chairs the House Administration subcommittee on Oversight, says his committee will work “aggressively” to explain why Capitol security failed on January 6 and will seek interviews with people involved, including former House speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). He says his panel will “be honest, show the truth, show both sides.” Representative Norma Torres (D-CA), the top Democrat on the panel, notes that Loudermilk has not informed the Democrats even of the dates on which the committee is supposed to meet.

Politico’s Heidi Przybyla today reported on a February 2023 “bootcamp” for Republican staffers to learn how to investigate the Biden administration. The camp was sponsored by right-wing organizations including the Conservative Partnership Institute, which is led by Trump’s former chief of staff Mark Meadows and other right-wing leaders and which raised $45 million in 2021 alone. Sessions included “Deposing/Interviewing a Witness” and “Managing the News Cycle.”

At one of those investigations yesterday, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who sits on the Homeland Security committee, said she intended to divulge classified information, saying: “I’m not gonna be confidential because I think people deserve to know.” She claimed that drug cartels had left an explosive device on the border; U.S. Border Patrol chief Raul Ortiz later posted a picture of the “device” and said it was “a duct-taped ball filled with sand that wasn’t deemed a threat to agents/public.”

Meanwhile, the Biden administration continues to administer.

Today, Sanofi, the third major producer of insulin in the United States, announced it will cap prices for insulin at $35 a month. Sanofi, Eli Lilly, and Novo Nordisk produce 90% of the insulin in the U.S. The producers have faced pressure after the Inflation Reduction Act lowered the monthly cost of insulin to $35 a month for those on Medicare.

—LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

HEATHER COX RICHARDSON

[From comments :: “Wild how Putin just assumed Trump would win one way or another and Ukraine would have been an easy acquisition. NATO and our State Department would have been dismantled.Scary to think this evil is still so prevalent in our government with the help of Mark Meadows and Steve Bannon lurking around the back doors.”]

Okay, so I've decided to compile a list of sorts for finding various of whatever genre of folk/neofolk/whatever you choose to call it that I like. This is by no means definitive, and I would love to learn about more of this stuff. going roughly chronologically, I'll start with Tolkien. So the Rankin-Bass hobbit soundtrack has great moments (need to find my dad's copy to digitize it). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dQ5c5SIYnc&list=PL7C0F6C1E40FBEF53 is where it may be found on youtube. a good chunk of the 1980 return of the king music may be found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gqvb_n8NZJ8&list=PL-HMOtGZW-4DlhOuQYvoSauIRPiRhyRFr&index=6 https://www.youtube.com/@ClamaviDeProfundis has done various songs from Tolkien's work, as well as many originals, I'd suggest Oshrjad Bonebreaker.

later, or maybe not, I am unsure, we have a generation that did some stuff: https://www.youtube.com/@SongsfromtheStars has a lot of these some specific names to potentially look out for: Alexander James Adams and his predecessor, Heather Alexander; Liz Fish, S.J. tucker, and Vic Tyler; these people participate in what is called filk, I am not in any way well versed on the topic, so I direct you to @filkyeahfilk for more info.

My number one pick in this genre thingy is the Mechanisms, who may be found here https://www.youtube.com/@themechanisms as well as Spotify, Bandcamp, and their website https://themechanisms.com. one other adjacent channel that is fan run is https://www.youtube.com/@TheVoidSings which has lyrics for the songs and a lot that was not officially recorded and work associated with various band members. I'll add a mention for the Cog is Dead and Aurelio Voltaire, although they are outside of the main purview for this list. the Forgetmenauts are also worth mention, if partially because it seems like most fans of the mechanisms on this website are also fans of them. Mostly found at https://www.youtube.com/@TheForgetmenauts, spotify, and bandcamp. One other one I'll put out here is Ye Banished Privateers, they tend to be more in metal spaces than folk from what I've seen, but going off of sound, they belong here. I would recommend Rowing with One Hand if you have a dirty sense of humor and the capstan shanty if you don't found at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEcxXAc938ASv-Yljju-yDg , and on Bandcamp and spotify.

#this is not a complete list by any means #I tried to stick to mostly folk sounding things because power metal can be a minefield at times #feel free to send suggestions I might add them might not #there is one I shall not mention where I liked the music but one of the guys behind it I know is an utter bastard #and as such I won't support him #sorry blogs mentioned by the youtube links I'm not sure how to fix it #they weren't even supposed to be links but then I couldn't get them to not @ people as text and I thought making them links might help #I have been here for I think two years and this is the first time I've tried to not @ people when an @ sign is required

✨Kitty Entertainment Headcanons🎇

Dancing

•Kitty's a huge lover of dance either for fun or to express mood and narrative.

•She used to take dance lessons when she was six years old at one of Santa Monica's junior dance troops. She stuck out like a sore thumb due to her hair and build and even though she desperately wanted to wear a tutu, she looked the most uncomfortable. The other girls would make fun of her because her movements weren't as dainty or refined and her teacher could sometimes be harsher with her.

•Despite her hatred for the lessons she continued to dance at home in front of the TV when the late show bands came on and to old records her father kept (and the new releases.)

•She would dance to Disney's releases too. One of her best memories is dancing to songs from The Jungle Book around the living room with her Dad.

•By the time the 80s rolled around she went out to dance clubs in the city that played Disco music (and didn't require any ID)

•She dances around her room to The Clash and other forms of Brit-Pop when she's feeling energised or needs to blow off steam.

• Her favourite dances are dramatic, modern and contemporary, musical theatre and street but she has a real fondness for ballet.

Movies

•Well she's a big animation fan but that's pretty obvious! Disney, the Looney Tunes and 80s cartoons.

•Kitty likes her horror, especially old monster movies like the Hammer House films. But she also loves the frightening psychological fare with or without the gore.

•She likes fantasy and is a big sci-fi fan. She loves Star Wars, Dune and Alien. I think Sigourney Weaver and Winona Ryder would be two of her favourite actresses. Anything with deep space exploration, strange characters, funky aliens she really likes.

•She likes the kind of fantasies by Ralph Bakshi and Rankin Bass as well as beautiful tragedies like Ladyhawke.

•She loves to laugh and will not only watch old toon shorts but also whatever snappy comedy that's in the cinema. She's not really a big fan of comedies that has emphasis on gross out and anything set in a high school puts her off instantly...unless it's Heathers.

•Roger and her watch old movies together. She's seen some that her Mum watched with her like The Wizard of Oz, It's a Wonderful Life and the old live action Disney films but doesn't know much about them. He introduces her to Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Jimmy Cagney and Lauren Bacall. While she's a bit more of a modern gal she thinks Humphrey Bogart is cool.

Music

•As a little girl she loved nursury rhymes, lullabies and old comedy songs her Dad heard in the army.

•She loved old Disney package-film ditties her mother used to teach her, as well as the old tunes of the shorts from Maroon Studios where her parents used to work.

•As she matured so did her tastes. To express the onset of teenage-to-young adult anger she turned to punk rock and if she was really mad the occasional heavy metal. The sound offered a release from all the post-grief pain of her mother's death.

•Her Dad collects records so she's heard Buddy Holly, Chet Baker and Bing Crosby.

•She enjoys pop music, theatrical stage numbers and has a soft spot for blues and jazz.

Art

•She draws a lot of cartoon and comic art.

•She agrees with livening up a place with art, the brighter and bolder the better. Doesn't matter if it's a new apartment, a city centre or a back alley, art should cheer people up and make them think. As controversial as people find it she's into the political/social graffiti scene.

•She likes going to art galleries if there's an exhibition on that she likes. But she's more likely to attend studio tours to see animator's art.

•She thinks art therapy is a grand tool and likes the idea of throwing paint, like physically throwing it at the canvas. And then peppering it was flecks to make stars or surf or light etc

•Has sent her art into TV shows for kids before but didn't hear much back.

Rollerblading

•Kitty goes down to the roller rink down by the pier to either hang out by herself or with a buddy and is really good at it. She's been doing it since she was five and can now practically dance-skate to the rhythm.

•She also uses the other facilities like bowling, pool and those machines that eat your money.

•She often buys herself a nice shake and fast food to go with it (though not while skating.)

•She knows some of the staff and they know her but it's not always mutual respect. They're often underpaid male employees close to her age who like to whisper. Or just roll their eyes when you ask if a game is working. She despises their snarky comments and can make some back but at the end of the day she knows their managers are worse.

•She's good at those dance games, quick on her feet and does the stomp parts very well.

•Once played so much she lost track of time and used up all her coins so she couldn't get the bus home and ended up asking a random stranger for money for the pay phone so her Dad could pick her up.

•After that embarrassing moment, she started saving up for a bike. Her Dad bought her one anyway. She was elated and now rides places everywhere.
